From the unique vantage point of about 25,000 feet above Earth, our Associate Administrator of Science at NASA, Dr. Thomas Zurbuchen, witnessed the 2017 eclipse. He posted this video to his social media accounts saying, “At the speed of darkness…watch as #SolarEclipse2017 shadow moves across our beautiful planet at <1 mile/second; as seen from GIII aircraft”. 

Zurbuchen, along with NASA Acting Administrator Robert Lightfoot, Associate Administrator Lesa Roe traveled on a specially modified Gulfstream III aircraft flying north over the skies of Oregon.

In order to capture images of the event, the standard windows of the Gulfstream III were replaced with optical glass providing a clear view of the eclipse. This special glass limits glare and distortion of common acrylic aircraft windows. Heaters are aimed at the windows where the imagery equipment will be used to prevent icing that could obscure a clear view of the eclipse.

Learn more about the observations of the eclipse made from this aircraft HERE.

New teaser(s!) from The Becoming of Noah Shaw

For every book I’ve written, I’ve posted the corkboard I created in Scrivener to help sort the mess of ideas jostling around in my mind during the book’s infancy. Since there’s one week left in the ARC contest for The Becoming of Noah Shaw, I thought today would be a perfect time to do it. Do with this what you will.

ETA: Since the image is so small given the text post, I’ve linked to the full size image post here:  http://michellehodkin.com/post/164213935718/full-size-scrivener-corkboard-for-the-becoming-of

p.s. Everything pictured and written in that screenshot it is in the final draft of the book.

p.s.s. Your entries are beyond incredible so far! There have been many more video, writing, and random entries than I expected, so if art/photography/photoshop is your thing, send your stuffs!

p.s.s.s. Next week, stay tuned for an outtake!

If I spend 3 hours sitting on my phone, no one cares, if I spend 3 hours playing a video game my family will start getting concerned I’m turning my brain to mush.

Jeannette Walls, The Glass Castle (via books-n-quotes)

You should never hate anyone, even your worst enemies. Everyone has something good about them. You have to find the redeeming quality and love the person for that.

Sometimes she would close her eyes and dream of him, but it was never Jorah Mormont she dreamed of; her lover was always younger and more comely, though his face remained a shifting shadow.

“you do care,” said dumbledore. he had not flinched or made a single move to stop harry demolishing his office. his expression was calm, almost detached. “you care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it.”
